Sams Drag Wagon

I built the cage in this car about a year ago. Its an 8 point cage that is NHRA certified for 8.50s. Since i put the cage in hes been building the suspension, wiring harness, motor, ect and hes almost ready to get it running. He took it to KC to have the cage certified and it turns out the rocker bars arent thick enough by .003''. All tubing has to be .125'' wall thickness and i guess our steelyard doesnt keep close tolerances on their shit. So he brought it back and i replaced the bars and it passed.


I also built the rear half of the floor



The problem bar

Removed

and finished


The car runs now and will be running this year.

So good thing we built the cage.

Sam was talking about cutting the cage out after this very race and having me build a chromoly 25.5 cage rated for 7.50s. If he still wants to wee gonna have to get to cutting soon.
